True self

Posted on by philipdodson

For connections and relationships with other people to work and be true, we do not need to change who we are. We need to be our true self, we need to be 100% ourself. Not the many roles that our ego wants us to act out.

If others are unable to be comfortable with us being our true essence then it is not our challenge.

It does not mean that we have to be hostile as that is the action of the mind and its ego. We can be respectful for of others but at the same time being true to ourself.

When we are clear to others that we respect our true essence then others will reciprocate and respect us.

We can be nobody

To be truly free we need to step off the path, let go of fitting in, to not feel we have to follow the crowd, to not have to agree with someone, to not have to be polite, to not worry that we might offend someone.

We have to be ourselves, not the ego-driven self-image that the mind creates, I mean our true essence from our soul.

We have to break the chains of conformity and be brave enough to be vulnerable and show the world the true light from within us

We’ll spend a lifetime being polite, agreeing, fitting in and doing what others want and yet suffer from not being able to be ourselves.

Freedom is to just be. We don’t have to become anything, we can be nobody and be content that we no longer have to be constrained by mind created roles we feel we have to play to be liked and fit in.
